I have to say, Point Break was always one of my guilty pleasures. It always seemed like one of those films I really enjoyed but shouldn't have - the kind of one that you don't tell your friends that you love. I am so glad I wasn't the only one!!!

I've seen the movie a few times, I don't need to watch some video. Also, I edited my post above.

Sorry, I didn't see your post. It was meant for everyone. Maybe I should edit the original post_________________Since the bible and the church are obviously mistaken about where we came from, how can we trust them with where we're going?

I generally liked Swayze in movies, but this one didn't do much for me. It didn't meet the level of what I'd call good._________________lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.

It's a popcorn muncher of a film, which is the goal on an action movie. Action films aren't my favorite, but I do really enjoy them. I found Point Break to be fun, and it had a weird edge to it as well._________________I, for one, am glad to be living on a planet with 776x the mass of the super-massive black hole at the center of the milky way just to keep Neptune in its daily orbit around the Earth.

Point Break was an excellent movie. Now let me see what that link in OP has to say about it. (Presumably it has something to say).

Edit: What?! Keremode likes Point Break?!?!? WTF?!

I know. That is why I like Mark Kermode. His knowledge about movies and movie making is second to none but he isn't your average critic, the type of critic that thinks they are above films and thinks that if it isn't 4 hours long and black and white then it is useless._________________Since the bible and the church are obviously mistaken about where we came from, how can we trust them with where we're going?

I think it's good. It opens with cliches about surfers, FBI, cops, generation gap, etc. Towards the end when the paths taken by respective characters starts to reach resolution, it becomes interesting. Ending was cool, although unlikely._________________“If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him”

Spend enough time in surfing communities and you get to realise it's not a cliché though. The ones that are in the sea at 6am in the winter and who treat it like a religion._________________Since the bible and the church are obviously mistaken about where we came from, how can we trust them with where we're going?

It wasn't what I was refering to, more reflecting over the drinking heavy bit and the language itself. We don't have waves, so our closes equivalent would be people that are in mountains/kayaking/mountainbiking/whatever you do in nature. The people come from various backgrounds, habits, musical preferences, etc. The common theme is the realisation that the human life should be lived as close to the nature, and far away from the mechanical and man-made economics rat race. Which only makes sense, to me anyway.
The movie portrays them almost as still attached to the mainstream society, and the only paradigm the writer has to use for that is quasi-religious aspect of it and buddhism. It has nothing to do with religion, more with seeing the modern society as fucked up mechanical shit it is._________________“If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him”

That is true of the weekend-warrior set. For those doing it a 6am in the winter on a weekday, they are not at all comparable._________________lolgov. 'cause where we're going, you don't have civil liberties.
